They
have a past. But will they have a future?
Leah
Parker is resilient and hardworking. She’d always prided herself in
maintaining a level head, even under pressure. Everything changes
when she begins to see strange apparitions and hear ghostly voices on
the morning of her birthday.
In
a blink of the eyes, Leah’s life takes a drastic turn that spirals
her into the unknown. Something is out to get her, but she’s unsure
if she’s losing her mind, or the faces and demands of the dead are
real. Unable to find the answers she needs, she has no choice but to
rely on ex-best friend, Brandon Morris, for help.
But
as she will soon discover, Brandon has his own secrets. Some of which
defy logic and only add to the mystery surrounding Leah. And mix
feelings between the two complicate matters by getting in the way of
what they really want, and what they must do.
Can
Brandon lighten the load on her by figuring out what or who wants her
dead? Or will their past history get in the way of the storm brewing
just beyond Leah’s grasp?
Movement
several yards behind him caught my attention and I glanced around his left
shoulder to the woods, noting the quick blur of a figure darting from behind
one tree to another. Something was off about the way this person rushed by. It
sparked a sense of familiarity that horrified me.
“Brandon,
I don’t think we’re alone anymore,” I murmured as another flash of white
scurried ever closer. It was too dark for me to determine who it was, but I was
certain of one thing: we were being watched.
“What…?”
The meaning of my words didn’t immediately dawn on him.
“Someone’s
out there.”
Brandon
spun around abruptly. He scanned the area briefly as he backed into me while
sucking in air. His suddenly rigid posture warned me whoever was out there was
not friendly.
Without
a single word of explanation, Brandon turned to me and took my hand in his,
pulling me down the path we’d used to get to the gazebo. He towed me along in a
haste, leaving me no room to protest, or figure out what the hell was going on.
A weird, high-pitched hissing sound emanated from somewhere behind us. It
startled me and I was tempted to glance over my shoulder, but Brandon’s next
words stopped me.
“Don’t
look, Leah!” His tone was as serious as I’d ever heard it, which freaked me out
even more. What was he so scared of?

brought them together. Will evil break them apart?

Parker’s visit to her hometown is supposed to bring her closer to

handsome stranger with almond eyes claiming to be her Pair.
Her

her life partner, Leah is pulled between the feelings she’s always

stranger determined to save her from certain death—at whatever the
cost.
With
an ancient evil out to finish what it started twenty-one years
before, will Leah find peace within her troubled mind and heart to
fight back and win? Or will her disconnection with her newfound
powers hinder her only chance at survival?
His
sacrifice…is her salvation.

I
opened my mouth to shout out a warning as the Soul Devourer leaped from the
roof. The man-beast made no sound, gave no warning, though the promise of death
was written on his ethereal face. Swift on his feet, Jae swung the flaming
sword around as he pivoted. The shiny blade sliced through the man-creature’s
neck in midair, just under the chin, decapitating him with a clean cut a
butcher would be proud of—all before I could spit out a single, cautionary
word. The head went one direction while the body crumpled to the ground in a
heap of unmoving limbs, inches from Jae’s shoes.
The
Soul Devourer’s emaciated frame began to disintegrate into a pile of black ash
mere seconds after it touched the ground, its chest bursting open like a piñata
to reveal a glowing blue light within the hollow cavity. Several white orbs
flowed out of the hole in rapid succession, forming groups of three or more.
The spheres danced around Jae for a mere fraction of second, as if to thank him
for his good deed, before soaring up toward the sky, vanishing within a few
blinks.
Souls,
I realized. They were souls stolen from countless victims, trapped within the
grotesque body of the Soul Devourer and forced to endure a cruel torment. And
what of those that were never released? Where did they end up?
The
Soul Devourer’s entire body turned to ash and was blown away by the wind by the
time I snapped out of my shocked surprise. One down. How many more to go?
A
furious hiss resonated from somewhere behind the tomb situated to my right. I
rotated to confront the oncoming night freak, fan gripped tightly in my hand.
He came barreling around the corner so fast, I nearly lost my nerve and bolted.
Instead, I shimmied to my left two seconds before it reached me— disgracefully
tripping over my own feet in my haste to avoid its elongated talons.
